Farewell Anna – Wishing you the best!

If you’ve visited the Women’s Centre, chances are you crossed paths with Anna. During her three and a half years with WKWA, she took on several roles, including Drop-In Coordinator, Social Media Coordinator, and Programs Manager.

Anna has a remarkable gift for connecting with people and making them feel seen, heard, and valued. Through her leadership, care, and dedication, she helped shape the Women’s Centre into an even more inclusive space that reflects the mission and vision of WKWA.

Today, we celebrate Anna with gratitude and joy as she concludes her time with WKWA and begins an exciting new chapter. Anna, you will be deeply missed—not only for your strength, leadership, and commitment, but also for the laughter, kindness, and lighthearted moments you brought to the women’s centre every day.

Thank you for all you have contributed. We wish you every success and happiness on your next journey.

Good luck, Anna— 💜🏳️‍🌈🦄
